A Little Lamp

If you are the fire, Oh Lord

Make me a little lamp

That brightens up the space around

With all the wick and oil it has

Though small, insignificant

Though not the mighty forest fire

Though not the mammoth disc

That adorns the sky

But still, a source of light

A guide

Something that cuts through the darkness

And beats the sickly cold

Something that spreads your divinity

And spread calm around it

If you are the fire, Oh lord

Make me a little lamp.
